Slow down just a bit, Jessica. You might end up on the wrong coast.

Oh! Remind Kathleen that the hallmarks of alcoholism are minimization and denial. Thankfully Tim has passed those and treated his illness appropriately by abstaining. Love, Doc Hope he will find a way to teach America. Alcoholics who don't drink alcohol anymore are by and large the nicest group of people I know.

Thank you for this. We can all benefit from a clearer understanding of alcoholism and how to treat it.

Tim's BAC was .128. definitely diagnostic of alcoholism. Congratulations on his Diet Mt. Dew. The treatment is simple even if sometimes difficult in our society. Don't anyone urge an alcohol beverage or even flavor on our next Vice President. Love, Doc "Chaos Alcoholism and DWI" NCMJ Aug 1991 Vol 52, No 8 pp 394-397
